More Details

Summary:

"From the fabled ʻulu shade of Lele, to the gray cliffs of Kā'anapali, and the icy waters of ʻĪao, you have arrived (at least metaphorically) in West Maui. With this book of mele, containing lyrics, translations, and musical notations of more than eighty of the most beloved songs about this celebrated area, you are also located at the intersection of Hawaiian-language poetry and vocal delivery. Mele, those capsules of artfully compressed and embedded knowledge, carry stories of place, time, and people - in this case, those belonging to the ʻāina of the West Maui Mountains. And when mele are taken beyond the page and onto your tongue, you - your thoughts, emotions, and experiences - are woven into the mele itself, and there is life. May you find life in this expression of aloha ʻāina"--Back cover.
"The songbook is a unique look at the stories of West Maui through the lyrics of Hawaiian mele. Added to the well-known mele of old are newer compositions that touch nearly every ahupua'a in the West Maui district"--MauiNow WWW site, searched January 13, 2020, https://mauinow.com/2019/09/27/lei-nahonoapiilani-songs-of-west-maui/
